I'm gonna get started early this month with a book recommendation. "Rule of Nerds" is the latest from our friend Aaron Johnson over at WhatTheDuck.net.
Rule of Nerds is the entire first year collection of comics featuring everybody's favorite loveable photographer / duck. You can get Rule of Nerds for just $32 from Amazon.com. It's a great gift for yourself or for a photographer friend. Enjoy!
Today's quote is another funny one...or, well, it made me laugh anyway!
"(Professional) photographers are like hookers: at first we started doing it because we liked it and it felt good, then we kept doing it but only for our friends, and NOW we're still doing it but are charging money for doing it!"
--Dean Collins
EDIT:
Found another quote that I think kind of goes with the above one. ;)
"The photographer is like the cod, which lays a million eggs in order that one may be hatched."
"What the Duck?" cartoons crack me up! Here is one relevant to photography lessons...
The "What the Duck?" cartoon strip is the brain child of Aaron Johnson -- thanks Aaron, for lettings us post your cartoons and link to your site. Keep up the great work!
I have two quotes for the day -- both from the same photographer. :)
"Digital photography is like having an affair with a barnyard animal. It may be a wild time, but you don't necessarily want your friends to know you're doing it."
"Ultimately, the best price protection someone can have is being unique...when people follow trends and their sytle becomes less definable, it feusl their doom.
It's Friday...time for another inspiring photography quote! This one is for all of the wedding photographers out there. :)
"I love the spontaneous nature of weddings - that things aren't always perfect. I also get to see the tender side of poeple, which is rare. It's all about capturing the human spirit that is unique to each individual."
--Bambi Cantrell
BONUS! Click here for awesome "Macworld show" sale prices at B&H! You should be able to combine some of these great prices with current rebates on certain pieces of Canon equipment (though B&H removed the rebate links on these sale prices...you might try retrieving the rebate forms directly from Canon...it worked for me last year!).
And, given the frequency that I've been consulted and have advised upon photography pricing issues on various forums, I have to share the latest "What The Duck?" cartoon...
